Warm-Ups: Warm-ups will begin promptly at 4:45 pm - this is to allow time for our team photo after warm-ups. Please have your swimmer on the Cumberland pool deck and ready to swim by that time.

Team Photo: We will be taking a team photo immediately following warm-ups (at approximately 5:10pm). Also, remember that we will be offering professional individual photos for purchase during tomorrow night's practice.

Volunteering: Please check in with Mike Abraham and Nicole Redmon when you arrive at the meet to confirm your volunteer assignment. We still have a couple of open positions for this evening. We can't do this without our volunteers!!! Thank you for stepping up!

Supplies: Don't forget a swim suit (tie-back suits and suits advertising other teams are not allowed), a swim cap (plain, Cumberland, or no cap), goggles, a towel, and a water bottle. Our concession stand will be open for business! It is going to be HOT for our next several meets, so please bring plenty of water for your family!

Heat Sheet: The heat sheet and a list of events by swimmer are attached to this email and are available on the swim meet schedule on our website. The heat sheet contains all of the information about which events your swimmer will be participating in tonight and which lanes they will be swimming in. Some of you may find that your swimmers are swimming up (participating in events for an age group older than their own). Summer swimming is a team sport, and we have carefully placed all swimmers in events to maximize points for our team and to give everyone as many chances to swim as possible.

Team Spirit: This looks like it will be a really, really close meet - we can't wait to see all of our swimmers do their very best! This is also Team Spirit night, so wear your Cumberland gear -- this year's t-shirts will be distributed tonight! Most of all, we want our swimmers to have fun, swim hard, and enjoy supporting each other. If possible, please stay through the end of the meet to cheer on all of our swimmers (and the Cleveland swimmers too!!!). We can't wait to see you tonight. Go Cumberland!!!
